Scientifically speaking, how often should you take a shower?

>> No.9925448

our natural oils are useful. showers aren't bad, it's just the products we use in the shower that are bad when frequently used

>> No.9925468

>>9925446
well if you don't shower daily you won't have children, so daily

>> No.9925477

Remember that people aren't necessarily going to tell you if you smell bad. Most people are too polite. Shower every day

>> No.9925498

Shower daily, but just with water, use shampoo and soap once or twice a week

>> No.9925499

ALWAYS use soap if you exercised or sweated heavily since the last time you showered or your pits will stink

Can't go wrong showering once a day.
Just try not to take hot showers and avoid bath products with sodium lauryl sulfate if you can.
Use a washclotch for your body and one for your face. Don't scrub your face too hard.

I scrub my face with Gojo pumice soap in the shower. It works great to exfoliate and remove dead skin

I shower daily so as not to smell bad, and I'm a guy, but I dated this girl once who had body odor, it was intoxicating. Don't get me wrong, I hate the smell of BO, but this girl's was different and hot as fuck.

My ex ran out of deodorant one day and her armpits stank and it smelled good that one time too, but not as good as the other girl's.

Daily shower is okay, and necessary for proper hygiene in certain climates. However:
-temperature should be lukewarm to cold
-time should be under 10mins
-no products aside from body wash or soap of some kind that isn't too harsh on skin (and don't do this every day)

What the fuck?
Why is everyone suggesting we shower every day?

I shower once a month. I was told that your body mostly washes itself which is why ancient humans didn't smell and is why animals don't smell. I was told that you should shower once a month because it defogs your eyes. I don't smell though, I am sure of it.

They did smell, and do do you you're just used to it. If you don't believe me, go up to a stranger and ask them if you smell.

Like a quick shower without soap is ok whenever but a full blown shower only ever other day. Those are my rules but I don't even follow them.

Have you met the animals that dont get bathed, just indoor ones?

Yeah, I always wondered if people who reeked of BO could smell themselves and just didn't care, or if they were literally oblivious.

I guess this answers it, thanks

Once every night before bed. Going to bed showerless makes me feel nasty dirty and hard to get to sleeps

>> No.9928614

I'd say it depends, whether you sweat, what kind of climate are you living in, do you exercise. If a person doesn't sweat much, lives a sedentary life in cooler climate then there's no reason for that person to shower every day.

>> No.9928827

My sweat smells sweet and spicy because I have a good diet. I only shower like twice a week, otherwise I just rinse my face off in the sink.
